-------!!The show ''A Haunting'' shows examples of the following tropes:

* AbandonedLaboratory: Featured in several episodes.* BigFancyHouse: Usually at low, low prices.* CatScare* ChristianityIsCatholic: Averted. Catholic priests do appear to perform exorcisms, but other types of ministers also help combat the hauntings.** We've also seen clergy members from numerous other belief systems. In one rare instance, the victim in question called in a pair of ''Wiccan'' priests to perform a cleansing. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, it only made things worse.]]* CreepyBasement* CreepyCemetery* CrossOver: One of the episodes, "Gateway to Hell," features the location of Bobby Mackey's Music World. This location has been shown in multiple other paranormal investigative features, including ''GhostAdventures''.** The Johnson family in the episode "Echoes of the Past" were also featured in the ''GhostHunters'' episode "Shadow People". * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Often used as back story.* CuteGhostGirl: Or young at least.* DemonicPossession* DontGoInTheWoods* ElectromagneticGhosts: In most of the episodes, ghosts mess with amplifiers, televisions, radios, drills, cars, and [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking toys.]]* [[HollywoodExorcism Exorcism]]* ExtremelyDustyHome: Or dirty house, whichever.* FootprintsOfMuck* GhostlyChill: Occasionally.* GhostStory: The premise of the show.* HauntedHeroine: Or Hero* HauntedHouse: Well, [[CaptainObvious yeah]]. ** About half the episodes are set in houses, including both of the pilot episodes. The rest are set in a variety of locations, including cemeteries, bars, and even a haunted apartment. On rare occasions, it's the people ''themselves'' who are haunted.* HauntedHouseHistorian: They pop up in a lot of the episodes.* IndianBurialGround: The cause of a number of hauntings from the show. * ISeeDeadPeople: Four or five of the episodes feature children who are shown conversing with the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Ghost of the Week]].** Several episodes also deal with people coming to accept their ability to see dead people.* JumpScare: Comes with the nature of the show.* MonsterClown* SpookyPhotographs: Used to tell what is present in the house.* StringyHairedGhostGirl: Several have been shown, usually demonic.----
